Galactica Electronica
Next is now, world music as the single most potent force in the culture of fusion ... World music-makers are like shamans, carrying us on magic carpets of riffs and melodies through states of consciousness that spin us out of time to lands not yet invented but glimpsed on the aural horizon ... And so we see that music brings us, in the jumping of our cells, from what is past to what is trying to become the future. lt expresses and fulfills our need to hear the spirit in the dark.
(Jean Houston in Jump Time, Sentient Publ. 2004)

| Maya Farner and Cordula von Martha used the music track Snake by Charlie McMahon (naturally with his approval) for TranceForms. TranceForms stages an ancient Egyptian healing ritual as a contemporary meeting between dance and picture. The ceremony is led by a Sheika who opens up the connection to the spirit world to a help seeking person. The task of the adept is to be dancing to reconcile with her Djinns. In a ritual transformation she erperiences the longed for healing. Enjoy a beautiful performance. |

Didgeridoo Fantasy reviewed by Music Design
The didgeridoo is one of the most unusual and fascinating of instruments. At first blush, its guttural groan sounds almost primitive. Yet it possesses a reverberated resonance that makes it sound like the instrumental equivalent of Tibetan overtone chanting.
Australian-based label Music Mosaic has always taken a particular shine to the instrument, and their compilation DIDGERIDOO FANTASY shows this. The album is less funky than some of the label's other didgeridoo releases, featuring songs that are rhythmic, somewhat smooth and focused on melody while the didg sounds in the backdrop. Included here are songs by prolific didg player Stephen Kent, regular Music Mosaic contributor Ariel Kalma, Rivertribe, Andrew Clermoint and others.
